NEW YORK — It looks Disney’s new Pirates of the Caribbean 5 has been pirated. <br /> <br />Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger spilled the beans at an ABC town hall meeting in New York, saying hackers reportedly pilfered the movie and are holding it for ransom. <br /> <br />The hackers are demanding a large amount of BitCoins in exchange for not leaking the movie. <br /> <br />Disney is refusing to pay, while the studio is working with federal investigators to catch the culprits. <br /> <br />The digital thieves have threatened to release five minutes of the film at first, and then in 20-minute pieces until their financial demands are met. <br /> <br />Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is set to open on May 26. <br /> <br />The ransom comes only weeks after a hacker dropped 10 episodes of the new season of Orange is the New Black after Netflix refused to cough up the cash. <br /> <br />Is this a new trend? More importantly, will anyone even watch Pirates 5 if it’s leaked?
